The Firm:

A large international accounting and advisory firm with one of the largest professional service networks in the world are looking to appoint an experienced Indirect Tax Advisor to their growing Newcastle office to join a team of specialist advisors in all aspects of Indirect tax.

The Role:

We are looking for a confident and capable Indirect Tax professional to join the team as a Senior, specialising in VAT. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, helping them improve their indirect tax compliance and efficiency.

You’ll be involved in advising how VAT impacts clients’ supply chains, financial processes, and accounting systems, while supporting them to improve reporting, reduce errors, manage working capital, and minimise costs.

You’ll work closely with senior team members to deliver tax projects, build strong client relationships, and contribute to winning new work. This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Identifying areas of risk and knowing when to escalate

  • Contributing to business development through managing existing clients and identifying new opportunities

  • Ensuring work is delivered with technical excellence and a practical, commercial focus.

Experience Required:

  • Proven UK VAT experience, gained within practice or an in-house tax team

  • Strong technical VAT skills with a genuine interest in developing your expertise further

  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to adapt to different audiences

  • Commercially aware and client-focused, with the ability to build strong relationships

  • A collaborative team player who can work effectively at all levels

  • ATT / ACA / CA / CTA or equivalent tax qualification preferred, but not essential — relevant experience will be fully considered

  • Tax Inspectors with full Technical Training or equivalent knowledge are also encouraged to apply

Benefits:

Extensive and varied benefits package alongside agile working and an opportunity to forge a long-term career with a leading accountancy practice.
